4 Nights Santa Break Itinerary - Wednesday to Sunday -  Yllas.

DAY 1
Inghams Santa representatives will be waiting at Kittilä airport to welcome you and escort you by coach to your accommodation. Then shortly after arriving in resort, you will be fitted with your complimentary thermal suits and boots. There will be plenty of time to explore your snowy surroundings, build snowmen, find a toboggan and throw those mandatory snowballs.

DAY 2
After breakfast join us for a welcome get together to help you plan your activities for the next days. Later in the day a magical jaunt is in store with a visit to one of Santa's enchanting workshops. Here you will enjoy an exclusive private family meeting with Santa himself. You can also take part in supervised festive games and help the elves bake gingerbread biscuits. Outdoors you can meet Rudolph the Reindeer, ride on an Icelandic horse, catch the snowmobile train or have great fun tobogganing in the snow.

DAY 3
Join in the fun by booking our exciting optional excursions. Perhaps a combined husky and reindeer farm visit and sleigh rides in the morning, followed by an exhilarating snowmobile safari in the afternoon. Alternatively try a few hours skiing on the slopes or wander around the local craft shops.

Then get ready for a festive "Dinner with Santa" in the evening, including party games and a disco. Tuck into a gala feast of traditional roast turkey Christmas dinner and Lappish specialities. The evening gets into full swing with a visit from Santa and his reindeer. All children have an opportunity to meet Santa once more individually and receive a small gift and certificate - souvenirs that can be treasured for years.

Please note that "Dinner with Santa" takes place on Day 4 for 4 night guests.

DAY 4
(for 4 night guests only) Today you can choose whether to book additional winter activities and safaris or try a few hours skiing on the slopes.

DAY 5
(or DAY 4 for 3 night guests) After a magical few days, it's time to say goodbye to your new friends before being transferred by coach to the airport for your flight home.
